First Grow: Rubbermaid CFL Auto Blue Mystic

[ActionHanks]

What do you use to water? I lst a lot, and i use more vertical than horizontal pots, so plants blocking watering is common place to me. I use a 2l soda bottle, with a modified cap to siphon water out of the bottle through some airpump tubing. Lets me push the tubing around through the tight canopy and get a nice even watering. Watering the edge should be fine if you dont wanna though.

Pretty much make this co2 yeast bottle thing, but put 2 holes in the cap instead of 1. Put 2 pieces of tubing into the cap holes, one under the level of the water in the bottle, and the other above the water level. When you seal the cap and blow into the tube that is above the water level, water will be forced out of the tube under the water level. Waala, precision watering.

It's never stupid to ask man. We all started off without any knowledge. Which is why we are all here to learn from each other

Just an update for day 36. I noticed one of my leaf was burned due to the nutes. but everything else seems fine.
I just have a question, is my leaf suppose to feel somewhat crispy? It seems to be getting a tad harder...

 

[ihavealotofquestions]

Your leaves look healthy as shit dude haha. Really. My fan leaves are thin and twisty

 

[Mr Skunky Haze]

[jasonkanz]

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Been extremely busy lately. The lights just turned off, I will post up some pictures in 5 hours

 

[jasonkanz]

As promised. Here is an update from today. My plant is now 60 days old from seed.



The buds are really starting to swell up

Question: Does anyone have any experience with this strain? If so, how long before I should be able to harvest (estimate), and when should I start flushing? For autoflowers, is there a need to give it 2 days of darkness before harvest?

 

[ihavealotofquestions]

Beautiful buds dude! Great job. Thing looks well taken care of mate

You should base your harvest time off the pistils, 75% red pistils, or higher, and harvest. People flush to get rid of the taste of nutes I think, so 5-7 days every day when your pistils are getting to the right color. Please try the darkness bro! I'm gonna do it >.< I think your plant is going to get a LOT denser too man

Next grow I'm going auto lowryder, you got me stuck on autos haha.
